Notes

1Diffuse absorption bands (fluctuation b.) indicating a shallow upper state potential curve.
2Vertical transition.
3Analysis of Miescher and Wehrli, 1933. Savithry, Rao, et al., 1974 revised some of the vibrational assignments and gave constants for 69Ga79Br.
4Calculated from 4Be3e2.
5Limit from the analysis of the fluctuation bands, and extrapolation of vibrational levels in 3Π0+ and 3Π1; for correlation with atomic products see Barrow, 1960. Flame photometry Bulewicz, Phillips, et al., 1961 gives 4.45 eV.
